Who decided this barely sci-fi, almost Will Smithless, Scientology propaganda should be made into a film? What happened to the back story that is more exciting than the film? Why is Will Smith’s son (for we shall not speak his name) always frowning? These are the questions you will ask yourself if you go out and buy After Earth on Blu Ray (or any other format for that matter). So don’t do it. Don’t even pirate it; it’s a waste of megabytes.

It was a sickly warm Friday morning, the air hung close. I prised myself out of bed to get on with my day, cursing the sleep in my eyes. I turned on my phone to check the day’s news – Daredevil was back. Had Hollywood not learned from their mistakes? I hung my head in despair…

It will take some doing to get the “Americanised” OldBoy to match Park Chan-wook’s award-winning original but with Spike Lee, Josh Brolin and Samuel L. Jackson in the mix we think they might just do it.
